The obstacle shows up as a certainty that everything has been done right where the children are concerned. An education was provided, a future secured, a great deal invested — and any suggestion that something was still missing provokes genuine indignation.

What it blocks is the capacity for closeness. Behind this point is a person who can give a child what no investment replaces: attention, time, a part in the child's own affairs.

What to do: ask the children themselves rather than yourself. And accept the answer, even when it differs from what was intended.

The point is not an accusation of bad parenting. It indicates that the effort went somewhere other than where it was needed.

Obstacle point

Obstacle point = DT + MT

The obstacle point is built differently from the other calculations, and that is important to understand before reading its interpretation.

In this system TP is the entrance to the best part of a person's karma: behind it stand their real talent and their strongest character trait. But the approach to it is blocked — by doubt, by the fear of doing it wrong, by the sense that in this particular matter one is weaker than others. That is exactly why a step that would come easily goes untaken for years.

Hence the main point: **the trait that TP names is not characteristic of the person.** It is not a diagnosis and not a defect, but an obstruction placed in front of a strength. If, on reading the interpretation, you felt stung — that is by design: recognition is itself the first step.

The task is not to fight yourself, but to see this obstruction and stop believing it. By this logic, what opens up behind it is the very thing the calculation is made for.
